I love Brisbane in Winter;
yellow pompoms and silver foliage
blue skies
citrus in abundance
bare frangipani trees
birthday breakfasts
woolen snuggles
dappled light
reading in the afternoon sun, a rusty tin roof against the sky
orange cascade
snowflake flowers
party banners
pass the parcel on a picnic rug
gum blossum buds
wattle like baby corn
a sunny morning coffee spot
yellow gold
a local orchard, a shedding tree
glorious sunsets
